A little travelin’ music from down Texas way
We went to see Jeff Bridges in the movie “Crazy Heart” a few weeks ago, and it was excellent. And all the time I was watching it, I was thinking of the late Townes Van Zandt. The Bridges’ character, known as Bad Blake, had a lot of Townes in him, as did his music.
But of course, since this was Hollywood, Bad Blake by the end became Good Blake and survived his sins and excesses. Townes did not.
The truth is, Townes was a great picker and songwriter but not that great a singer. At best he could often make a virtue of his limitations. So here’s an interesting version of his most famous song, performed by a couple of other pickers who also reap virtue from their limitations.

I’ve seen it myself. Had a family member who died of cirrhosis of the liver and complications due to it. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone to have to suffer like that. Like you, I think there are some things that shouldn’t be joked about. That’s not how most people feel though.

Palin’s denial of the accusation, wrapped in an anti-media message, drew cheers from the enthusiastic crowd and was quickly headlined by the same “lame-stream” reporters whom she targeted. The national press corps seems to be pursuing the idea that Palin can be used to discredit the Tea Party movement and vice-versa, as part of a mutually-reinforcing negative propaganda campaign intended to convince America that the only people who oppose the Democratic Party and its policy agenda are (you guessed it) a dangerous collection of hate-filled, misinformed lunatics. So any event that connected Palin to the Tea Party was sure to draw a swarm of reporters, only too happy to depict both the crowd and the featured speaker as irresponsible dingbats.-Amspec

Speaking of Sarah. How utterly disappointing.–
“After a rip-roaring reception for the Keynote Speaker, I was sadly disillusioned at the lack of criticism toward the former Alaska Governor and Republican Party “Cover Girl,” Sarah Palin.
Wasn’t it just yesterday, she was in Arizona campaigning for the former “Maverick” suddenly turned rock-ribbed conservative “reach-across-the-isle” moderate “RINO” John McCain of McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy fame? And who also voted for Amnesty for illegal aliens? That gang of 14 John McCain?
The same John McCain who tenderly re-assured us during the 2008 campaign: “Barack Obama is a good man…If he’s elected President you don’t have anything to worry about.” That John McCain?
Yes, indeed Sarah Palin is supporting that same John McCain who sided with Bill Clinton against the Republicans and voted for the tobacco tax in the 90’s that led to trial lawyers raking in millions at the expense of Americans.
The same John McCain who voted in favor of campaign finance reform, and FDA regulation of vitamin supplements, the Patriot Act, and more.”

[[I don’t know about the rest of you, but I never did see the health care bounce]]
I believe there was a bit of one, but if one breaks down those polled, I believe the increased satisfaction came from Democrats.
The larger story (for the moment, anyhow) is that once again, Democrats seem to be the party of those with grand ideas but incompetence at writing legislation. The much- proclaimed “we will immediately cover children with pre-existing conditions” appears to not take effect until immediately… in 2014. Seems the law says IF insurance companies offer to sell a policy they must include preexisting conditions for kids. Problem is, the law does not say insurance companies MUST sell the policy.
Democratic leaders, expressed outrage at insurance companies, not at themselves (ever seen a teenager, when it’s pointed out he or she did something dumb, use the same tactic?). “How could those evil companies not insure the children? They knew what we meant!” So now they’ll try to ‘fix’ through regulations while the companies use the legal system to adjudicate.
Republican talking point for November: “We told you Democrats were moving too fast, without time to read and consider. A trillion dollars and they couldn’t even deliver on the simplest thing.”
So much for all those great lawyers and staffers on the committees.

There was a child born late last week in Ft Worth. Parents didn’t have insurance for themselves (too expensive). Had two kids insured. Paid for the new birth out of pocket (got that, all you bloggers who assert the uninsured just use emergency rooms and skip out on paying their bills?).
New child had a defect – blood vessels in heart reversed. Insurance company declined to accept child – had a ‘pre existing condition.’ Just born, has something pre-existing? Great.
Story Saturday was how the nondenial wouldn’t take effect until Sep. That was bad enough. Now we see it’s 2014 by a reading of the law and it’s headed for regulation and litigation.

Can you point to any examples of “competence” in our legislature. Bonus points if you can find examples of the “other side” exhibiting any sort of competence in your examples.
Of course had there been any sort of cooperation between the parties, there would be less “debugging” necessary, But one side seems to have decided that there was no need for them to sit at the table, now instead of having input they have what they have. Which appears to be what they wanted all along, a talking point at the expense of us all.

Senator Obama saying Pres Bush using a recess appointment for John Bolton to the UN meant loss of credibility for the US for forever and was just, you know, wrong! for subverting the Congress and Constitution and all things American.
Now he uses recess appointments.

You seem to be indicating that somehow, someway, the alternative offered up by the minority would’ve helped them. The only alternative offered was “we need to start over” at the 11th hour (only once they saw the writing on the wall, did the “conservatives” even acknowledge that we needed any sort of reform).

In response to a question from Deutsch asking Coulter if “it would be better if we were all Christian,” the controversial columnist responded: “Yes.”
“We should all be Christian?” Deutsch repeated.
“Yes,” Coulter responded, asking Deutsch, who is Jewish, if he would like to “come to church with me.”
Deutsch, pressing Coulter further, asked, “We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians?” She responded: “Yeah.”
Coulter deflected Deutsch’s assertion that her comments were anti-Semitic, matter-of-factly telling the show’s obviously upset host, “That is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews.”

Paul – “Are you seriously taking the position that two years ago Democrats did not denounce violent imagery?”
show me where it was a problem. show me where there was the increase of threatening language like there has been since the town halls last summer. seriously, show me.

Rule of Thumb: when you resort to the personally demeaning attacks, the argument is conceded.
Do you have such a forgiving attitude with surgeons performing procedures? Or the companies making the equipment they use?

So far, the only argument I’ve seen from Democratic proponents who think passing health care reform legislation that doesn’t explicitly guarantee coverage for four years for kids with preexisting conditions is no big deal.
Because Republicans opposed reform. Or because, well, at least they passed something.

I heard it was Sep. for children and 2014 for adults, but we’ll have to wait and see. It’s really a modest, conservative approach. Many Republicans were for many of the measures before they were against them; had proposed them in fact.
